Now, normally I’m a big fan of This Old House- the magazine, the show, the website. It’s a great resource for home improvement, etc. etc., but really? Really?

I don’t have anything against adult Halloween costumes…And I don’t have anything against incorporating what many people (myself included) spend their time on as part of a Halloween costume, but really? A toilet? And please don’t get me started on the women’s costumes they showed…there’s really nothing polite I can say about those…
Maybe we should all just back away from the renovation costumes- just for the day- and refocus that renovation enthusiasm and energy for the day after Halloween…How’s that sound?
Great…thankssomuch…
“You want me to wear what next? Isn’t the pumpkin embarrassing enough?”
Congrats to A and J!
A peek into the engagement pictures I took of them last night…
Way too much going on right now- travel, weddings, more travel, and then some more travel, parties, guests, birthdays, photo shoots- so I’ve neglected to blog about my undying passion/hatred known as home renovation as much as I should, and relied heavily on the pictures…I hope you don’t mind so much.
And if you do? Well…forgive me and I’ll give you a cookie the next time we meet up, k?
So, in a nutshell- not much progress on the house…lots of progress on other important things, like life outside the house. We do have other projects planned- but it will be awhile before we tackle those (insert empty-pockets/sad eyes here). Like next spring.
Until then though:
Short term- (like as in tonight) I’m taking my sister’s engagement pictures (yay!!! Weddings!!!)
Longer Term- Helping to put together an engagement party feast while hosting some of my favorite people.
Longest term- More travel for the holidays! Yay long car rides!
PS- For those that asked, the Shakespeare quote from last week is a stick-on transfer (I know! Cool, right?) that I got at Kohl’s in Nashville. Not sure if the product is in other Kohl’s home furnishings areas, but you never know…
Wisconsin looks vaguely like Germany- coincidence? I think not.
Half of the Cotterpin House is on the road again- while the other half is playing video games and brewing a new batch of beer- but more pictures, stories, and nightmares of home renovation will start back up on Monday again.
Have a great weekend!
…so far, so good! Happy Anniversary, M!
As much as I can love traveling, I also love coming home…
The Alps at sunrise on our way home.
Happy Love Thursday!
